Gain Clarity on Your Objectives

As the first quarter comes to a close, it’s important to take time to reflect on your personal and professional goals. Don’t just focus on monetary or gains or career progression—both are great but establishing a personal mission statement to help keep you focused is extremely helpful. By consistently refining your own mission statement, you can make clearer goals, prioritizing the things that align with your mission statement. A quality personal mission statement includes three things:

1.       Your skills and abilities (what you like to do)

2.       Your personality traits (how you operate)

3.       Your values, dreams and passions (why you want to excel)

Like employee performance reviews, this is a list and statement that should be updated ritually, not just at the end or beginning of each year.
